The Church of the Creator is a Vargr faith based on a simple premise,
that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery and worship is just
flattery of the divine. From that idea, a simple and utopian form of
religion was begun. The best and most sincere way to worship is to imitate
the Creator by creating, or at least caring for the Creator's finished work.

Creation can be thought of as building ideas and things. The fine
craftsmanship of a woodworker is just as worthy as the writing of a fine
novel. The finished product becomes less important than the careful act of
making something new. The love that one instills in the finished work is
evidence that one wishes to be like the Creator. Does not a child imitate
his father in order to be like him? Once every sentient being attains that
end, paradise will come.

As a workman's tools allow him to create, they are treated as holy
relics. The finest care is given to them and it is not unusual to hear
prayers uttered over them. As tools allow us to create, so we, as the
Creator's tools allow him to create. We must hone our bodies and minds,
ready for his use. No tool is less important than any other and all tools
have their own purpose and use.

The goal of any follower is to continuously improve any and all things
made by sentient beings. Once perfection is attained in an object, we may
humbly offer it up to the Creator for judgement. Of course we can never come
close to his works but the main thing is to try with humbleness and a
willingness to always try to achieve better.

The Church of the Creator believes that The Church of the Chosen Ones are
heretical as they claim that they are chosen for greatness because they were
purposefully made by the Ancients. How foolish! All sentient beings were
purposefully made by the Creator as his tools for shaping the universe as he
sees fit. No tool is more important than any other. All are used, though
perhaps not as we expect. Even the Ancients were purposefully made by the
Creator. By putting the Ancients on a pedestal, they worship the candle
while ignoring the candlemaker. The Church of the Chosen Ones represent
broken tools that must either be mended or thrown back into the furnace to
be recast anew.
